  • Pelicans' Hunter Dickinson: Removed from injury report

    Dickinson (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Dickinson sat out the G League Birmingham Squadron's season finale last Friday due to a personal matter, but he's rejoined the Pelicans ahead of Thursday's contest. The rookie big man hasn't made an appearance at the NBA level since the Pelicans' Oct. 22 season opener and isn't guaranteed to be active Thursday.

  • Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Questionable for Thursday

    Matkovic (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Portland.

    Matkovic is dealing with lower-back spasms and could miss his first game since March 3. If the 25-year-old big man is unable to suit up, Derik Queen and DeAndre Jordan would be candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable for Thursday

    Murphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Murphy is in danger of missing his fourth consecutive contest due to a lingering right ankle sprain. With New Orleans already eliminated from postseason contention, the team has little incentive to rush the 25-year-old wing back to the floor. If Murphy remains sidelined Thursday, look for Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins to continue logging increased minutes.

  • Adem Bona PF | PHI

    76ers' Adem Bona: Starting versus Washington

    Bona will start in Wednesday's game against Washington.

    With Joel Embiid (illness) ruled out, Bona will draw the start. In 14 starts during the campaign, the 23-year-old has averaged 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 52.2 percent from the field in 22.4 minutes per showing.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Not starting Wednesday

    Champagnie won't start Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    With Bilal Coulibaly (heel) back in the lineup following a one-game absence, Champagnie will slide to the second unit. He has averaged 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

  • Franz Wagner PF | ORL

    Magic's Franz Wagner: Will start in return

    Wagner (ankle) will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    The 24-year-old forward will return from a 22-game absence due to a left high-ankle sprain and reclaim his spot in the starting five from Tristan da Silva. Wagner sustained the ankle injury Dec. 7 and has played in just four games since, so he's likely to operate under a minutes restriction during his return to action.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Ruled out Wednesday

    Rollins (hip) won't play in Wednesday's game in Houston.

    Rollins didn't suit up for Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Clippers before returning for Tuesday's win over the Mavericks. He logged 36 minutes, finishing with 24 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 36 minutes. However, the 23-year-old won't play in the second half of this back-to-back. With Kevin Porter (knee) out as well, the Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, AJ Green, and Gary Trent to handle most of the work in the backcourt.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Moved out of starting lineup

    Da Silva is not in the Magic's starting lineup against the Hawks on Wednesday, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    Da Silva has started 19 of the Magic's last 21 games (including 13 straight), and over that span, he has averaged 13.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals over 30.6 minutes. The second-year pro will retreat to the bench due to the return of Franz Wagner (ankle), but da Silva should continue to operate in a prominent role, especially if the former plays under a minutes restriction.

  • Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Ruled out Wednesday

    Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.

    The Knicks are opting to give their star point guard a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set against a weak Memphis team while he manages right ankle soreness. With Miles McBride (pelvis) also sidelined Wednesday, New York's backcourt rotation will be extremely shorthanded. Look for Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet to absorb the bulk of the available minutes against Memphis.

  • Leaky Black SF | WAS

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Not playing Wednesday

    Black (two-way) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    Due to the timing of his signing a two-way deal with the Wizards, Black is eligible to suit up for 15 games at the NBA level. The Wizards are choosing to hold Black out against the 76ers in an effort to manage his availability, but because he's been active on nine occasions, he'll be eligible to play in each of the team's final six games of the season after Wednesday.
